Crescendo Franchise

Crescendo is the premier specialty retailer of the world's finest oils, vinegars and spices. Every product on our shelves is harvested at the peak of perfection, providing customers with a "Symphony of Taste." Crescendo's unique concept offers customers the opportunity to "See, Sample and Savor" before they choose the quantity they wish to purchase. The European tradition of tasting and selecting a preferred quantity is centuries old and harkens back to the practice of shopping in local farmers markets. Through in-store tastings, cooking classes and demonstrations, and extensive, individualized service, customers are given the opportunity to learn what makes Crescendo products the best in the world and to taste the difference for themselves. Crescendo carries the largest, freshest bulk selection of natural, organic culinary oils and fruit and balsamic vinegars in the world. The key to Crescendo's unparalleled freshness starts with our close partnership with local growers from around the world. At the point of harvest, products are sealed in airtight containers, coming into contact with air and light only at the moment of tasting or decanting for your customers. Crescendo offers an uninterrupted supply distribution to our USA franchise locations through an integrated supply partner in Chicago. Why Choose Crescendo? Sales beyond the Four Walls The unparalleled quality of Crescendo cask-borne, artisan oils, vinegars and spices creates a unique opportunity for sales to restaurants, culinary schools, and caterers. While most retailers must wait for customers to enter their stores, Crescendo owners can achieve recurring sales by educating local chefs about exclusive products that will set their menus apart from the competition. Other sources of outside sales include corporate gift programs, real estate agents, financial planners, and other professionals who routinely gift their customers and employees. Seasonal gift giving is another source of revenue. Crescendo customers delight in sharing their passion for their favorite flavors, which translates into brisk holiday sales. Dedication to Excellence The Crescendo mission is to provide patrons with a Mediterranean way of sampling and savoring premium-quality, artisan products directly from the cask, with a commitment to uncompromising levels of satisfaction. Crescendo is committed to bringing only the finest quality culinary oils, vinegars and spices to the marketplace and to always being the first stop for quality and health conscious gourmets, epicures and food lovers.
